Greetings from Finland. When the weather is nice, it's usually cold as Perkele. 

I'm facing a challenging situation with my vehicle in our extreme winter conditions. Today, the temperature dropped to a freezing -35°C (31°F). As you might be aware, the new Euro 6 emission standards restrict the use of petrol/diesel heaters for engine heating. Consequently, while the cabin gets warm, the engine does not receive adequate heat.

My vehicle uses a coolant by-pass valve (part number 31461924) to control circulation. A mechanical workaround I've considered is removing this valve and replacing it with a Y-connector, leaving the original valve plugged in the engine bay. However, I'm curious if there's a more sophisticated solution.

Is there a way to control the behaviour of this bypass valve through the vehicle's Orbit system? This control is crucial for maintaining engine health in such cold conditions. Any advice or insights from fellow members who have navigated similar issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hej, är det möjligt att kolla dieselvärmare i OrBit? Kan jag göra komponenttest och se hur många som startar och stoppar, hur många timmar det har arbete och startar och stoppar värmaren? Ledsen för dålig engelska, jag är från Sverige.

I’d like to add an additional car to my current subscription. I see it’s supposed to be $50 but can’t figure out to do that online thru PayPal. I’ve sent an email to support. Thanks!

Replaced MY18 XC60 R design seats to inscription seats. It comes with:
Massage
Heated
Ventilated
Electric cushion extension (R is manual)
Lumbar support (R have it)
Side bolster

1st the driver seat is moving by it self when lock/unlock and it goes to wrong position. Any idea??
(Solved) saved the profile and lock with my remote in setting. Search the form and founded a lot of info.

2nd The question now, what setting do i need to change to get the options working in Driver and passenger seats?

3rd Setting everyone needs (control passenger seat from driver side):
244 Remote control of passenger....

4th Enabled 468 "first row tilt motors" but I have no idea what does it do!!

1. Hi guys. I installed illuminated thresholds from the XC90, on my V60 2019. I connected them to the footlights (as they are connected to the XC90, when they are installed as accessories). It works well (including dimming), until I open a door, at which point it flashes 2 times and goes out. On Vida, I found an error related to current consumption (too high). Is it possible to stop their monitoring or to increase their current limit? 

Hi everyone,

recently got Orbit to read out DTCs on the V90 CC (MY 22, 35.000 miles) I purchased two months ago:

CEM:
U1341 - Overhead Console (OHC)- Component Failures- Component internal failure
B1507 - Passenger Airbag Lamps Status- - General electrical failure
B1505 - Heating Steering Wheel- General Electrical Failures- Circuit short to battery or open

SRS:
B00135 - Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator- Algorithm Based Failures- Event information

Reading DTCs with Vdash shows the same DTCs above and five other ones105E. For reference the previous owner had an issue with the fuse box on the battery which was replaced and the car was at regular service two weeks ago with no issues. The steering wheel heating seems to run fine despite the two error codes (B150515, B150511).

I don't have experience with DTCs so was wondering what do. Should I take the car to the dealer again to have the codes investigated and / or cleared?

I drive a XC60 T8 Long Range (2022 onwards model).
It is produced in 2022, but its the "early 2023" model range.
Since this range, Volvo stupidly decided to remove the drive selector.

Is it possoble to retrofit the drive selector that is used in the PRE 2022 models?
Is it just a replacement of the mid console panel? Or do you have to wire it?
Is there any coding needed to let it work?

Hi all. If I crack my CEM PIN using VDASH, is there a way to bring it over to Orbit? Or, in other words, does VDASH share what your PIN is after it cracks it so that I can use it with Orbit?

Hi,

I'm planning to convert my car to drift wood trims and have managed to acquire a full center console that includes a touch panel for rear seat heating and air vents. My car didn't originally have air vents for the back seats. Is it possible to retrofit this new console into my car to add these features? Any advice or tips on how to proceed with this conversion would be greatly appreciated.
I recall watching a video a while back where somebody implemented a similar touch panel in their car without any air ducting and sensors. The heated seats worked, but he encountered system errors due to missing air conditioning sensors? and other components. This has me wondering about the technical challenges and potential error messages I might face during my own upgrade process.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I have recently programmed my 2018 V90 CC with level 3 stop & go, ACC version 2 and curve speed adjustment (can't think of the correct term) however in a few tests I found the PA way worse than original, the green steering wheel engaged much slower and very prone to disengage. I am going to revert back to OEM on those settings but just love to know what you guys are running and find effective.

Thanks!
